Walking the Camino as a couple

Walking the Camino as a couple

By Cathy Seitchik Diaz

David and I went to see the documentary, Walking the Camino: Six Ways to Santiago on February 21, 2014. As we left the theater, I said to David, “I want to do this. I want to walk the Camino de Santiago.” At that time, David, not an avid walker like me, lovingly, or was that reluctantly, said, “Okay.” There it began, a new adventure for us. We began to plan, organize and learn what the Camino de Santiago was all about.

April 9, 2015 arrived and we were on the plane flying to Paris, our first stop on our pilgrimage across Spain. A few days before I remember saying, “What was I thinking!?!?” But off we went and once we landed in Paris we knew there was no turning back and this was the right thing to do.
